About this position

Texas A&M AgriLife Research is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate in molecular biology within the Department of Animal Science at Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas.

This postdoctoral role focuses on designing and conducting molecular biology experiments that support defined research objectives across environmental, animal, and food-related systems. The researcher will develop and validate molecular detection assays, including quantitative PCR and sequencing-based approaches, to study bacterial pathogens, antimicrobial resistance determinants, and microbial communities. The project also includes culture-based and molecular characterization of microbes across livestock, wildlife, and food production settings, including multispecies biofilm systems.

The position is strongly research- and publication-oriented. The postdoc will plan amplicon, metagenomic, and whole genome sequencing studies with sequencing and bioinformatics staff, analyze data using R or Python, and prepare figures, tables, manuscripts, and technical reports. The role also involves contributing preliminary data and methods to funding proposals, maintaining detailed records, operating molecular instrumentation, and coordinating experiments with collaborators at partner universities and federal laboratories.

This is a highly independent research appointment with mentoring responsibilities. The postdoc will help train undergraduate and graduate students as well as research staff in experimental design and molecular methods, and will present findings in lab meetings, conferences, and stakeholder meetings. The position sits within Texas A&M AgriLife Research, a large agriculture and life sciences research environment with broad institutional connections across the Texas A&M University System.

Funding details

Funded through grants or contracts; continued employment depends on ongoing funding and satisfactory job performance.

What's required

A PhD in microbiology, molecular biology, biochemistry, animal science, veterinary science, or a closely related field is required. Applicants should have research experience in molecular biology or microbiology evidenced by peer-reviewed publications, bench expertise in nucleic acid extraction, PCR detection, and at least one sequencing approach (amplicon, metagenomic, or whole genome sequencing), experience designing experiments and analyzing data with appropriate statistical methods, strong scientific writing ability, and the ability to manage several concurrent experiments and work cooperatively with project teams. Preferred qualifications include experience with microbial communities, pathogens, or antimicrobial resistance in livestock, wildlife, environmental, or food production systems; quantitative PCR or digital PCR assay development; nanopore sequencing; command-line, R, or Python sequencing analysis; biofilm or bacterial pathogen culture methods; biosafety level 2 work; extramural funding proposals; and mentoring students. If applying before the doctoral degree is conferred, a letter from the Graduate Office, Registrar’s Office, or PhD Committee Chair certifying completion of all degree requirements and the conferral date is required.

How to apply
